As you know, rapper is a load of men in the pub jumping around with swords to blistering folk music. Most people would be a little curious about this – considering a trip to the pub right now? But still weighing up the pros and cons? Ok. Now replace the rapper dances, which you imagine to beery old men, with stunningly attractive young women. Interested?
But is rapper actually sexy? Yes! To dance rapper you need confidence, and fearless streak, a dash of lewdity, slugs of booze, and a real sense of fun – what is not attractive about that?
And that was our experience of Star and Shadow, an all girl (all cute as buttons) rapper troupe. Needless less to say the lads and I were entranced by their energetic, gin-soaked, somewhat raunchy display (what red-blooded male is not stirred by a flash of bloomers?) as the defining moment of the festival. Needless to say, the letches had their video phones out.
We also saw Black Swan Rapper. We had been had hear that they were pretty tight and they did command some respect, pulling off some fine skillz. However, we did witness the dropping of a rapper (illegal move – mark ‘em down ferret) and one of the lads got cut on the cheek, a scratch from a whirling blade. Rapper dancers are always getting cut up – what do you expect from dancing with dirty great swords for fun? – but the rappers themselves are not like sabres or anything; more like non-serrated breadknives with handles at either end. The blades, which are about two foot long, are still pretty sharp though and they move at some speed. I wouldn’t like to be shanked by one!
Despite this drop, Black Swan were pretty good and we all agreed that things were looking up. It was one o’clock and the beer had started to flow.
